TW on Team Selection

[Coughlan24]

How good was it to hear TW talk about Gaspar's non-selection by saying there wasn't anyone who deserved to be dropped. In the past Gaspar would've been a walk up start and now saying after his weeks off he isn't guaranteed a spot. About time selection with some backbone!!!!!

what? we only beat essendon, a bottom 4 team by 2 pts. and lucky to do so as well. while it was a very enjoyable win, it was nothing to ride home about...

No, but it was something to write home about. ;D

We have only beaten Lions, Blues and Dons..... most teams would beat those 3 the way they are travelling at the moment. In each of those games our skill has been average and kicking for goal dreadful. I don't think we are at the stage yet where we have a 22 that's hard to break in to.

Dont get me wrong. Im very happy with 3 wins, but we have only beaten very average sides. The real test is this week.

Yes we have only beaten average sides and yes the real test is this week. But Yes thank god finally some players have to earn their spots in the side and not just expect to come in after injury. Well done RFC.

Please dont tell me you think Gaspar would improve our goal kicking. ;D ;D ;D Because if someone had done that we would have won the last two games comfortably.

Wallace is setting a precedent that we have long been waiting for. The kids are the future and if they are doing there bit why should they be sent back to Coburg for someone who has missed three or four game on top of some average form before that. :clap

The games we've won and the teams we've beaten are immaterial in this thread, it's pointing out that spots on the Richmond team now have to earned rather than given due to reputation or long past deeds.

Yes he would - best goal kicker at the club - 70% conversion. With Richo in doubt tomorrow - he may play CHF

I'm proud of Wallace and the selection committee for giving the kids a taste of the big time. It was only 3 or 4 years ago when we were all arguing over the selections Flemming, Houlihan, Hilton and Nicholls etc.

At the end of the year unfortunately some very hard decisions will have be made. However, it's a good feeling to know we are headed in the right direction!
